The staff at AMIS understands how important it is to have the right protection. We offer a wide range of customized insurance coverages to meet your needs and budget.

We provide property, liability, and commercial automobile insurance to churches, monasteries, convents, religious organizations, religious shrines, temples, synagogues, retreat houses, denominational offices, schools, camps, and senior living facilities. We are the one of the leading insurance brokers for worship centers and related institutions in the United States.

Coverage is available in all states and it is underwritten by insurance companies that are rated "A" or better by A.M. Best Company, a leading industry organization that monitors the strength of insurance companies. This rating means that the insurance company is considered "excellent" in important areas like stability, management expertise, and the ability to meet their financial obligations.

All Insurance Agents/Brokers are welcome to submit an
